Drive Through a Living Redwood
Tucked along the scenic Highway 101 in Northern California, the Tour-Thru Tree in Klamath, CA, is one of the most memorable roadside attractions on the California Redwood Coast. This living giant offers visitors a chance to actually drive through the base of a redwood that’s estimated to be over 700 years old. The carefully carved tunnel allows small vehicles — like the Mini-T Campervan — to pass through while the tree continues to thrive, standing tall in the lush Klamath forest.

A Perfect Stop for Campervan Travelers
For travelers exploring the Redwood Highway or making their way between Redwood National Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, the Tour-Thru Tree makes a fantastic photo stop. Compact and efficient, the Mini-T Campervan easily fits through the tunnel, showing just how versatile and travel-friendly this small RV is. Unlike larger motorhomes that struggle on narrow forest roads, the Mini-T’s garage-friendly size makes it ideal for redwood adventures, coastal routes, and small-town stops.

Redwoods, Coastline, and Scenic Drives
Located near the mouth of the Klamath River and minutes from the Pacific Ocean, this part of California is a dream for nature lovers. Visitors can explore the Trees of Mystery, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, and Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, all within easy reach. Whether traveling north toward Crescent City or south toward Trinidad, this route is filled with breathtaking forest drives and ocean overlooks — perfect for campervan travel and photography.

Camping and Overnight Options
Nearby campgrounds like Klamath Camper Corral, Redwood Meadows RV Resort, and Elk Prairie Campground inside Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park provide peaceful overnight stays beneath the towering trees. For those traveling in a Mini-T Campervan, setup is quick and simple — allowing you to rest, cook, and relax right where you park.

Why the Mini-T Campervan Is Ideal for This Trip
The Mini-T Campervan combines the convenience of an everyday vehicle with the comfort of a Class B motorhome. With solar power, a refrigerator, microwave, and a pull-out bed for two, it’s built for efficient road trips like this. You can explore small towns, scenic drives, and natural wonders without the restrictions of a large RV — perfect for destinations like the Tour-Thru Tree and California’s Redwood forests.
